ACE 5.1 is very old.


Please upgrade to ACE+TAO x.4.7, which you can download from

http://deuce.doc.wustl.edu/Download.html

under the heading "latest beta kit". The DOC groups at Washington
University, UC Irvine, and Vanderbilt University only provide "best
effort" support for non-sponsors for the latest beta kit, as described
in

http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE_wrappers/docs/ACE-bug-process.html

Thus, if you need more "predictable" help for ACE+TAO x.4, I recommend
that you check out

http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/commercial-support.html

for a list of companies that will provide you with ACE+TAO commercial
support.
